Despite having been in this foreign city for almost half a day, Ysera had not spent her time trying to fathom the secrets of the device the laughing construct had left for her. The device bore far too striking a resemblance to the kinds of things a gnome or goblin would devise. And even without having seen the dreams of goblin and gnomish engineers, Ysera knew better than to randomly push buttons on one of their devices. Exploding was the least of the things someone had to worry about a gnomish device doing.
The device and the necklace with it's small metal tags was tucked into her robes. The ornate, armored clothing had drawn stares from the humans of this city all morning. The staring and whispers only intensified when they spotted her ears. She'd paid them little attention, more focused on trying to determine her location and circumstances.
Surely she would have known of this city's existence before now, and yet... this was the first she'd even heard of it. Despite having walked the streets for hours, Ysera still knew little of this place. She had still not found the city walls. This city was far larger than any human city she had ever seen before. She did not know the name of this city, nor where it was located. The buildings towered far overhead and seemed to be made of glass rather than stone. Mechanized vehicles of some kind choked the streets with their bodies and the air with their stench. The writing she had found on signs did not provide directions she found very helpful in navigating the city streets.
Her frustration at being ground-bound had only grown since she'd left the building she'd first found herself at. Although she knew humans tended to panic at the sight of her kind, she disliked constraining herself to this form, especially when the ground was so unpleasantly hard on her soft-skinned feet and the air at this tiny height was so foul. By the time she found the riverside and saw even more of this city stretching out over the far side of the unpleasant-smelling water, she had had enough.
Where there had been a strangely dressed elfin woman standing at the edge of a relatively empty stretch of waterfront, there was now a massive leviathan of a dragon. Emerald green scales glittered in the sunlight as the dragon stretched out and lifted her horned head to the sky. The creature's eyes remained closed as if oblivious to the mundane world around it. The long tail lashed as the behemoth spread wings that would overshadow a jetliner.
It felt so good to stretch out into her true form and spread her wings in the sunlight. Ysera tilted her head slightly down as the sounds of frightened humans began to sound around her. But no matter, she wouldn't be on the ground for long.
Dragons were meant for the skies.
As she leaped into the air with a cry of joy, cement gouging beneath her claws, Ysera couldn't help but think that she should have taken to the sky sooner. This city was too big to see properly from below. She could find the borders so much faster from above.
As she climbed and circled back around over the city, she was both amazed and dismayed to see it stretching on and on into the distance. Was all this land nothing but streets and buildings? Where were the forests and fields?
Ysera banked to glide past a row of towering glass buildings before climbing higher. As she lifted past the rooftops of the great towers she noticed a whole crowd of humans packed onto balconies that circled one of the taller buildings. Curious, she banked closer to lazily circle the building and get a better view.
She slowed, rumbling amusedly to herself as she realized a great many of them were children, and very excited children at that. As well they should be! Few humans were graced with such a close view of any fully grown green dragon, let alone Ysera herself.
